Very Nice!
It's interesting to see the inside of an FJ and how it's restored.
I wish I had the time and tools for this.

We were working on a wooden fence we are putting around the front of the house so did not have much time to work on the Cruiser.
I installed the distributor during the week, the battery and some of the wiring. Most of the front DS wiring harness is fried and need to be rebuilt
We need to work on the timing and get some gas and fire it up....we'll see. Hopefully tomorrow I will have time to fire it up!!

So last weekend we tried to start it and realized the fuel pump was not working. With the help of Brian 84yota4x4 we replaced it (we took one from another 2F we have) and got everything ready to run. We tried to start it a few times with no luck. 
Could not work at all on the cruiser during the week so today Juan and I tried again,,,we did the timing again, give it some gas and it runs!!!
It is so exiting!!
The next thing to do is to install the lift, paint the axles, make sure brakes are working, give the last coat of paint, assemble body parts, and connect all the wiring!
I am hoping to have it on the road by the end of August if everything goes ok
I will get more pics when the lift is on.
Also, thanks Jared for getting the rims for me.. I really appreciate it!

Got the lift installed this weekend. Will be spraying last coat by next weekend.......then figuring out wiring...brake lines....tires.....inspection....and it should be ready to roll.
Also any one has pics of the accelerator linkage....I took it out and put it with a bunch of other 40s parts and I am not sure which one it is. it is for a 79 fj40.

You two are cruising (no pun intended) on this project. I guess it really helps when you have two people who enjoy the same thing.
